The ability to transfer files from iOS to other devices via Bluetooth is a glaring omission from Apple’s mobile products. The jailbreak community has made up for that a bit, with utilities like Celeste. But options are still limited.

That’s why we were excited to see AirBlue Sharing pop up in Cydia over the weekend. The full-featured app allows you to share files from your iOS 5 device, with almost any other Bluetooth-enabled device, with just a few taps…

When we say full-featured, we’re not joking. Here’s a list of AirBlue Sharing’s capibilities:

Zero configuration

Native Bluetooth pairing, do not have to re-pair your device when using iOS native Bluetooth

High speed Bluetooth transmission, up to 1.7 MB/s

Automatically shutdown Bluetooth when transmissions are done to save power

Transfer files over WiFi connection — it’s possible to transfer a video file in a few seconds (iOS to iOS)

Automatically create a WiFi hotspot for transmission when no Wifi is available (iOS to iOS, large file)

At $4.99, AirBlue Sharing may seem a bit expensive. But it’s actually cheaper than the alternative by a couple of dollars. Jeff should have a review video up shortly, but if you feel like you’ve seen enough to buy it, you can find AirBlue Sharing in the BigBoss repo.
